However, this also meant that viewers got access to some quality dramatic content.

On this week's episode of RHOP, Ashley brought up another rumor about Candiance's husband Chris being flirtatious with her friend, adding to the list of him making women uncomfortable.

Season 7 of the hit reality series has been extremely popular amongst viewers. Cast members of RHOP include Ashley Darby, Robyn Dixon, Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Dr. Wendy Osefo, and Mia Thornton. While some of them have established themselves as fan favorites, others have been criticized for their behavior displayed in the episode.

The official synopsis of the episode, titled Burnin' and Beefin, reads:

"The Burn Session continues and Candiace confronts Ashley by dropping a bombshell rumor; Gizelle attempts to make things right with Candiace, but her apology isn't well received."

RHOP stars Ashley and Candiace get into a heated argument

On tonight's episode of RHOP, the ladies continued their feuds and arguments from the previous week's "Burn Session," hosted by Wendy. Ashley and Candiance got into a heated altercation after the former brought another allegation against the latter's husband, Chris Bassett.

Ashley began by stating that Chris was being flirtatious with a friend of hers during the Spring Break party that was documented in the premiere episode of the installment. Ashley also revealed that Chris "had been in some other DMs that are not quite as innocuous and innocent as mine."

In response to the RHOP star's allegations, Candiace revealed that Ashley's husband, Michael Darby, was allegedly a "client" and was involved with another man. The two then got into a heated altercation and while Ashley asked Candiace to keep Chris' behavior in check, Candiance wanted her fellow cast mate to reflect on her own marriage before bringing drama into others'.

Before the altercation got even more heated, Wendy stepped in and asked them to drop the matter. She then sat down with Ashley to discuss what went down. The latter revealed that she wanted to bring it up in front of Gizelle, who has had a similar experience with Chris, because Candiace believed that the topic about her husband was being brought up in public and not personally.

Robyn said:

"All I was saying to her [Candiace] is with Mia saying that [Chris was staring at her], and with this information from my frined, maybe he [Chris] needs to do just a little check and say, "Maybe I'm, like, being a little too friendly." I'm not trying to be vindictive. That narrative has to stop."

The RHOP star continued to state that it was her friend Deborah who she met at her "mom group". According to Ashley, Deborah had asked if Chris and Candiace were still together. The star further explained that she "didn't want to sit with those things" and had to inform Candiace.
